lost these individuals one of our facilities i do want to update you on the efforts that we're doing to move forward with the reconstruction of the bridge. as was mentioned earlier by the governor. we have applied for the dollar, the federal dollars that are available for this type of purpose. i sent the letter earlier this morning. i just got off a phone call with the federal highway administrator one step of the process to move forward, we intend to receive some additional felkel very quickly to start that process. and then we will come up with a design for the replacement of that bridge as quickly as possible to get the court backup and the community back up and running. thank you. >> senator ben cardin >> first let >> me express our deepest condolences to the families of the victims of this horrible tragedy. i also want to personally thank all the first responders i had a chance to

see firsthand some of the diving activities and it was extremely challenging to say the lease >> we >> know that the quick action of our first responders saved lives by keeping vehicles off the bridge before it collapsed. so we really want to congratulate our first responders >> when you >> have catastrophic event like this that affects transportation infrastructure that's critically important to our community and to our region. the federal government comes to your help and we are asking the federal government to help us through this crisis. president biden has responded in a very direct way. we are very confident that we will get the immediate attention that we need thanks to the biden administration and our federal partners we also will need the help of the congress center working with iron entire congressional delegation to make sure that we provide the

necessary authorizations, support, and resources to make this recovery complete. and that we can move as quickly as possible make no mistake about it. our top priority is to get the shipping lane open we recognize that every day it's closed. the impact that has not just on baltimore in our economy, in the state of economy but in our country and affects the global supply chain. and we recognize that we have to move with dispatch in regards to opening the channel. we are also working today on a replacement bridge so that we can also have those plans in place and have the tools and resources available so that we can reconstruct the bridge which is quickly as possible first priority opened shipping lanes, medicine replace the bridge. and we appreciate the fact that the federal government will be there every step of the way. center being holland i want to start where

the governor and >> center card and others did by saying to the families of the six that we lost in this tragic accident that our hearts go out to you and we as the maryland family will do everything we can to provide you with the resources that you need. in this very difficult time >> it's >> also a solemn reminder of both the contributions and the sacrifices that are immigrant families make in our community and around the country and i also want to thank the first responders for first of all, the search and rescue operation. and now the recovery operation. thank you all for the hard work that you're doing. as others have said, we have to priorities. the most urgent priority is to open up the port of baltimore. because as the governor laid out, it is essential to the livelihoods of people here in baltimore and

maryland. and in fact, the economies of the region and will impact people around the country and around the world. the port of baltimore is that important? and it is the the 8,000 people who are working there whose economic livelihood is tied up with the port. so i want to thank the prezi united states, who called many of us yesterday and then spoke to the nation, is already delivering on his promise, which he is ordered the army corps of engineer to do everything necessary to clear the channel so that we can reopen those shipping e i think we're going to do whatever we can to make sure that we have ships passing through as soon as possible >> the >> army corps of engineer, the federal government will pick up the class for that. and those funds are available. i saw preliminary estimates between $4,050 million, but they are very preliminary, but the

bottom line is the army corps we'll pick up the costs i want to commend the governor and his team for their fast action in putting forward the notice that they're going to apply for the federal emergency relief fund part of the federal department of transportation's program. the federal highway administration we will be working very closely with the governor secretary wiedefeld, and others and their team. as you process that, just to give you all a sense of what that, what that means for that you can draw down funds immediately for some of the costs of diverting traffic and other immediate costs to adjust to what happened in the short-term. and then going forward, that relief fund provides a strong federal match. we believe it will be 9010 in terms of the federal share for the 10% remainder,

center carden and i will be working very closely with the president and our colleagues in the congress to make sure that we meet president biden's pledge to do as much as possible to make sure that the federal government picks up the class. some have asked about the ship owners themselves. obviously as the ntsb conducts its review, will have a better idea of exactly what happened and if anybody is liable for negligence or wrongdoing you can be assured that we will be pursuing those funds as part of the cost share from the congressional point of view, we will be pursuing. as i say, what we hope will be about 10% of the total costs through the legislative process we will pushed increase, make any increases necessary in that emergency federal fund. and again, put forward legislation center carden and i are in the

process right now of reaching out, putting a phone call into speaker johnson because we think that this is some something where american should come together. there should not via question of republicans or democrats. this is an american challenge. we are a great american city. you're in baltimore and we're hoping that all of our colleagues will come together and join us in making sure we rebuild the bridge. because the governor said, we do this together. and we hope that will also be true in the united states congress. so thank, thank you to everybody who's been part of this i'm now going to turn it over to the mayor of this i'm sorry, to torres. another great maryland or who is now the white house doing wonderful work with the president tom perez thank you so much. good evening. my name is tom perez and i have the privilege of serving as a senior advisor to president biden. and president biden,

like the nation grieves for these victims. and he has no stranger to tragedy in his own family. and governor. thank you so much for your leadership throughout this challenging situation it's been steadfast and it has been remarkable >> we are >> all in this together when president biden first heard about this yesterday morning he summoned everyone who had a relevant stake in the game to come together to make sure that every federal resource was put to bear. so we see the coast guard, we see the army corps, we see the national transportation safety board we see the department of labor the president directed us to make sure that we are doing everything possible >> success >> occurs when everybody is working together. that's exactly what is happening here. i met with the families earlier

today and it is really, really tragic and we will get through this. we have no doubt about it. and the president has directed us to move heaven and earth. those are my words. those are his words to make sure we are helping the remarkable people great state of maryland to move forward and we we will indeed governor, i can inform you with confidence that we will process your request promptly because the situation calls for prompt action they have boquita and upon you love victim is son latinos mahmoud abbas, paris. you travel, i hope, or presented biden euler some d are moving with three, but withdraw tavo my stroke by his l precedent in ten dbn l suffering mantou, they lack community that president

>> but will what we just heard really illustrates the point that with every new detail we're hearing, it just seems that the details of this accident just grow more and more horrific. this coming just moments ago from colonel roland butler superintendent of maryland state police, giving us the new breaking information. now that at about 10:00, a little bit before 10:00 this morning divers and other teams discovered in about 25 feet of water, they discovered a red pickup truck and they did discover two victims inside that truck again in 20 five feet of water near the middle span of the bridge in that depth. and he identified the victims as alejandro hernandez fuentes, 35 years old and dorlian castillo cabrera 26 years old. that identifies two of the victims that we know now have perished in this accident. that means four remaining in victims are presumed dead, but their bodies have not been recovered. also, the superintendent did say that this is now moving to what he

called a salvage and recovery operation. but the recovery process is very, very problematic. he did say that divers or no longer able to navigate safely in that area of the river, the potassium river and where it meets the baltimore harbor right there, the francis scott key bridge. he did say that there are some vehicles they believe that are encased in the superstructure and concrete. again, with each new detail, we're getting here, wolf, just a horrific picture of what divers and other team teams are going through. trying to get to the victims who have perished and that the bodies have not yet been recovered. it is very dangerous under, under the under the surface of water is incredibly murky. it was murky yesterday when we were out on the harbor very near the ship. and that was that was in good weather conditions. the weather has really worsened today with driving rain and wind it has made the water colder and murkier, much more dangerous for divers to navigate through that and remember that as horrible as the scene looks above the surface with a twisted metal and the concrete

draped over the ship it is just as bad if not worse below the surface, a lot of twisted metal there. again extremely dangerous for divers to navigate through that. so they are suspending that at least for the moment again, they will. i'm sure put divers in as soon as they can, as soon as it's safe, but the weather here is just not cooperating it hasn't today and it likely will not cooperate tomorrow. again, the news from colonel roland butler of the maryland state police that at a little bit four 10:00 a.m. this morning they discovered a red pickup truck in about 25 feet of water near the middle span of the collapsed francis scott key bridge. and inside that red pickup truck they discovered two deceased victims identified as alejandro hernandez fuentes, 35 years old, and dorlian castillo cabrera, 26 years old. that means that there are four remaining presumed victims that are presumed dead. whose bodies have not yet been recovered. i think another additional detail that he provided was that they believe that the victims all six of the deceased victims,

are from mexico, guatemala, el salvador, and honduras >> are brian. now we'll get back to you as well. we're coming, we're watching a lot of breaking news right now, including the former vice presidential candidate, the longtime us senator, joe lieberman has died at the age of 82 in his life and his legacy right after this quick > can the r riva supporort y brbrain healthth? > very janenet, hey eddie, , frasaser, franckck, franckck, b how w are you? >> fred fufuel up to s seven br healalth indicatators, inclulud yoyour memory?y? pretty jojoine nenew riva brarain h health challenge.e. >> this mamango hint w water >> tastes s just like e mango >> howow can watater taste j ju lilike fruit for a limimited ti nenew customerers get overer 45 ofoffered drdrink pink.c.com.

jewish figure. but it's not just that he was jewish wealth. it's that he was an observant jew, very open and proud of his judaism and has traditions. and that no question gen. led him through a very long career of politics and he started out in the connecticut state house, then he became attorney general in connecticut. and then of course was a senator and the us senate for almost a quarter century. >> and we'll he was very well known as pretty hawkish on defense issues and on some domestic issues some of his positions when it came to international relations certainly set him apart from his party. and that led to some brian with the democratic party so much so that even though he was the vice presidential pick

for al gore in 2000 and came within a more than 500 votes of becoming vice president of the united states. it wasn't that long afterwards that he maybe about a decade even that he was challenged from within his own party in the united states senate and get connecticut senate democratic primary. and he lost. and then he ran as an independent and he want again and that kind of sums up the career of delirium and the other thing that i think people might not realize is that the entire department of homeland security wolf was created in large part because it was his idea along with others, but his main idea he spearheaded the idea after 911 of bringing all of these disparate departments and agencies that didn't communicate well enough up pre 911 into one umbrella

organization. and that is the department of homeland security. and that was a large part what he did and i will say that we're already getting statements from his former college, chuck schumer saying how devastated he is susan collins republican of maine, who often traveled with senator lieberman, senator mccain senator graham said that she's simply heartbroken and we're going to continue to hear that throughout the evening. there's no question about it. >> a lot of us are new. joe lieberman. well, a right now van jones lieberman was the vice presidential candidate with al gore, as we all remember back in 2000, how do you think democrats in general right now should remember it? >> i mean that's kind of the tale of two joe lieberman why was he the vice presidential pick we have a big party >> a lot of people >> could fill that role coming out of the '90s, the bill clinton white house had been

rocked by scandal. there was a sense it may be built bill clinton was a tarnish figure and al gore to figure out how can i signal the people that this is going to be a button up operation? this is going to be a high integrity operation. my whitehouse, it's going to be run by adults. i'm gonna get joe lieberman because his reputation, his standing, his his his esteem that he was held by the whole country. that was the biggest single way could signal the kind of man he wanted to be associated with. and it was very important for gore at that time. and so again, just said came within a couple of hundred votes of becoming the first jewish vice president. would it made history doing that? and given his heart for service would have been a fantastic vice president. no doubt. >> at the same >> time, when mccain ran against obama, joe lieberman actually endorsed john mccain which on the one hand is a

beautiful statement of bipartisanship. on the other hand, was heartbreaking for obama folks like myself to see a great figure like that walk across the street and hold hands with the other side. and that is also joe lieberman, independent, tough minded, isn't going to go with popular opinion, is going to though his own heart, sometimes that helped them recreate, sometimes it hurt our feelings. but a line of the senate and a legendary figure for sure. >> let me get alyssa farah griffin into this conversation. alyssa joe lieberman was very, very, very independent minded. he joined with the republicans from time-to-time is, as we i'll know, how do you see as legacy >> well, first i just want to say condolences to senator lieberman, his family, his wife, hadassah. i mean, he was truly a consummate statesman and hearing this news, i couldn't help but feel like this is in some ways the end of an era. he really encapsulated the idea of bipartisanship and championing the idea of working across the aisle. he saw is a

virtue. he didn't feel like he had to fit into one box or only play for one t. he truly focused on the priorities of the american people and he is so he's, he's such an interesting person to reflect on in this political moment because he is strongly decried toxic partisanship. i mean, a remarkable legacy vance point that he was on a democratic presidential ticket and was very seriously considered years later to be on a republican presidential ticket. i think it speaks to his character, the seriousness of who he was in the senate as the statesman, as this policy maker. but also someone who is just universally respected by both sides of the aisle it's so true indeed, everyone standby for a moment. i want to bring in a long aide to joe lieberman, dan gerstein's joining us right now. dan, our deepest condolences for your loss. i know you work very closely with senator lieberman over these years how are you remembering him tonight? >> well, thank you. wolf. >> it's a sad day, stolen a

little bit of a shock >> i guess >> the hearing, some of the other guests talked about the two eyes as we like to say, integrity and independence and you know, those are the values that certainly stood for is approved, will always be remembered for and i as much as i'm sad, i'm also grateful for the opportunity to work from worked with him, but also learned from him. i've learned so much about not just politics and policy, but respect justified for other people for different viewpoints and one of my favorite things about him and what will always take away is when we were at events and we're, you know, maybe backstage or in the kitchen. he would always take time to talk to the catering staff, the bartenders and make them feel seen and show respect to them and that really says a lot about his character. >> yeah, it certainly did. you

were a top adviser at center labor inside through multiple campaigns. tell us a little bit more about your experiences with senator lieberman over the past few decades >> sure. you know, one of my favorite experiences was and this was really my first variates working for him full-time was on his 94 reelection campaign, which he wasn't a dominant position. it was not much of a contest but he still campaigned hard and went out and met with voters as, again, as a sign of respect for the process for the democratic process >> and we came up with the >> idea that he had been visiting diners off and on as a way to interact with real people, real voters. and we put together a tour and i had the opportunity read it kind of drive with him and oftentimes drive him to some early morning stops at diners across connecticut. and again, it was remarkable to see a man who was

very comfortable sitting in boardrooms with ceos in meetings with heads of state, with presidents of the united states but also being very comfortable talking to cops, factory workers, teachers. the kind of people he would meet in diners and take their questions and take them seriously. and he was as much as he was a statesman and a master policy and negotiated some very important piece of legislation he also was a master retail politician and it's a rare combination these days, particularly in the digital era >> so bottom line that dan, what do you see a senator lieberman's legacy right now? >> well i mean, i think the word statesman, i think we'll be attached to his name and integrity >> and one >> that the way he worked

across the aisle and tried to build coalitions and, you know, in an era when compromise increasingly became a dirty word, he still believed in the power of compromise and being in a position to build agreement and could forge consensus from people from different viewpoints because he's always said, the only way to get things done in washington it's through the center out. and having bipartisan buy-in, not just to get the votes, but to have legitimacy for the policies that passed. and i think we're seeing the consequences now of that lack of compromise that lack of consensus in our politics. >> and he was very open and proud of his jewish span hey was it they talk a little bit about that >> oh yeah. and you know as someone who has not observant i

learned a lot about judaism from him and jewish values and again, that's one of the things i always respected and admired him for for it was it's one thing to be a man of faith. it's the other it's quite another thing to live your values. and honore your faith every day in your work, how you treat people >> and >> it a lot of it just started with his mother. i think you remember marsha. and what a special relationship they had and you know, it's again one of my fondest remembrances of the campaign was in 2000 when he was the vice presidential nominee, de loving what so many evangelical christians coming up to him and no telling how much they admired him and his a man of principle and a man of faith and someone, i think that showed the best of america was that you know, the connecticut,

the way that we the civic religion and what binds us together has for most of our history, have been much stronger than differences. >> yeah, good point. dan gurski. thank you very much for joining us. our deepest condolences to you and to the liebermann family right now, i want to bring back dana bash download. let me get some final thoughts from you as well. as i said before, you and i cover joe lieberman for many years well, first of all, that was beautiful from danny burstein, who i got to know when he was working for senator lieberman back in the de i think one of the >> things that i always think about with joe lieberman is he grew up in orthodox community in stanford, connecticut. and i actually got to know him separately from the us senate because he grew up with two of the fathers of two of my two people. i know very well two of my friends one of whom lost her father of quite young and

senator lieberman said to her, i will always be there for you and he promised her father that he would be any was she just recently got a new job? she just told him about it. and that's the kind of man vector kind of menchu if you will, that joe lieberman was personally. and as politics obviously, we're as van, really brilliantly laid out very complicated, but his northstar was compromised. the center and trying to overcome the extremes in both parties and he will be missed and as you say so, well, may his memory be a blessing >> yes, indeed. are dana thank you very, very much. we will all ms him. >> we'll take a quick break. mumuch more ofof our news s rig after r this >> u university y of mararyland glglobal campupus gegetting a babachelor's degreeee doesn't he to means s starting frfrom scra here, you cacan earn up p to 90 undergraraduate crededits for relevant e experience e what wi yoyour next succesess speaks
